GARY BERGER

A Genious Gift

“I’m a collector of Albert Einstein’s writings. A few years ago, I acquired a manuscript of more than 100 pages of his private working papers that had never been seen by the public before. After considerable thought, I decided to sell these pages and several letters of historical importance. I take comfort knowing that the materials are now in an important archive and available to Einstein scholars.

In part, because of the source of these funds, my wife and I gifted the proceeds to the University of Rochester to fund a flexible deferred charitable gift annuity designated for an endowed professorship in medical education.

This legacy gift is an expression of my gratitude for the life-changing education I benefitted from as a medical student at Rochester.”
